Spatial entanglement of quantum states has become a central paradigm of many-body physics. Here, we unearth a fundamentally different form of entanglement, the entanglement between imaginary time scales. This time-scale entanglement is…

We construct and solve a "minimal model" with which nonequilibrium phenomena in many-body open quantum systems can be studied analytically under time-dependent parameter changes in the system and/or the bath. Coupling a suitable…

The quantum speed limit sets the minimum time required to transfer a quantum system completely into a given target state. At shorter times the higher operation speed has to be paid with a loss of fidelity. Here we quantify the trade-off…

The presence of non-local and long-range interactions in quantum systems induces several peculiar features in their equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium behavior. In current experimental platforms control parameters such as interaction range,…
